he has been an extraordinarily effective messenger. the question was, was it too late? i feel like when you say it is a complicated economy, that is obviously terrible political messaging. it is also true. i was just talking a friend the other day about the issue about the job situation in her small town in western new england. i was like, the bottom line, the thing everyone is talking about is, it is at 3. 5%. unemployment is at build the man camps in north dakota levels. unemployment hasn t been this low in 50 years. and yes, there s other things going on in the economy, but isn t that something for the democrats to be running on? without a doubt, they could be making the argument, if you are struggling, there s not just a job out there, there could be two jobs. some of these important battleground states in arizona in georgia, guess what? the jobs picture is even better. look at the port of savannah, blooming. phoenix, arizona is going to be a huge beneficiary of the ships act.
